Elsewhere, Basket Lattes Montpellier Agglomeration suffered only their second league loss of the season after a big shock in the French League. They were beaten 66-60 at Hainaut Basket who climbed off the bottom of the table, despite being short-handed with just a six player rotation. A double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds from Ifunanya Ibekwe got them home.

The result deepened the crisis at Arras Pays D'Artois who are now rooted at the bottom of the standings after they were routed 74-45 by Bourges Basket. They are now three games adrift of third from bottom Villeneuve D'Asq.

In joint second place with Bourges are Perpignan, who took an impressive 74-68 success at Toulouse thanks to an excellent 27 points from Croatia national team playmaker Iva Ciglar, whilst EuroLeague Women side USO Mondeville crashed 78-66 at Tarbes after Angelica Robinson accrued a notable 16 points and 19 rebounds.

GALATASARAY BACK ON TRACK

There was an all EuroLeague Women clash in Turkey when Galatasaray welcomed Tarsus Belediye and the hosts reacted to their shock home loss to CCC Polkowice last week by racking up a convincing 79-57 success as Sancho Lyttle harvested 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Finally in Liga Femenina, Rivas Ecopolis kept their perfect record intact although they had to work hard to claim a valuable 71-66 win at Tintos De Toro Caja Rural. The victory was built on a terrific effort by young Queralt Casas (vote for her as Young Women's Player of the Year) who had 19 points.
